Property description

The main ingredient of a Holiday at Finca Solana is peacefulness & clean energizing fresh air. The house and gardens provide this in spades ! To find this, often entails very uncomfortable travel, so it is refreshing to discover an easy drive on proper roads that don't jolt your insides out to reach this stunning Holiday destination. The large comfortable, colourful & interesting rooms of an old property & a choice of Terraces to sit outside means that even with four People staying, they have their own space - another essential in a recipe for an enjoyable Holiday. This is the perfect place for a unique hideaway, making a memorable experience gazing at the clear unpolluted skies at night & lazing by the Pool through the day. Whilst this property oozes character & quirkiness, it is by no means rustic. It provides every requirement you might need to relax in great comfort & style.

Important notes on accommodation

The house is delightfully traditional with a distinct Mediterranean feel. The beamed ceilings and the large colourful spacious rooms welcome you into the spirit and warmth of rural Andalucia. 60cm walls & stone floors in an old house keep you cool in Summer & warmer in the cooler months. There are fans in every room & mosquito screens. Every thought has been given to provide you with everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing Holiday, right down to the Picnic Box and night lights!

In our opinion, the house and gardens are not suitable for babies and toddlers.

Guest comments

“Thank you for a fabulous visit. We wish we could have stayed longer. The house exceeded our expectations ++++. The gardens, the tranquillity, hospitality and information were a bonus. The house and Pool are beautiful. Jane & Andrew”

“A very special Holiday Let – very different from the rest. We have loved every minute of it, especially the peace and tranquillity of the location. The house itself is the best Holiday Let we have stayed in - totally unique in ways too numerous to mention. Cath & Mark"

“I would like to thank you for a really lovely holiday. It was so relaxing and was a wonderful chance to recharge our batteries. The house, the garden and the pool were superb to the extent that we only went out twice. We both thought what is the point of going out when staying-in is so fantastic. Claire”

About the Owner

Our overriding wish when we bought the property was to make staying at the house a memorable & contented Holiday. Although the house was just about habitable when we first bought it, we have made huge changes & have worked over the years to constantly improve it. We are very proud of the work we have achieved. It has been a "Labour of Love".

We originally envisaged that most of our Guests would have grown up Children, like ourselves, heading towards retirement. It was a surprise to find that many Guests who stay at the house are in their late 20's to early 30's & many Families have also chosen to stay with us. It has been a satisfying experience to find that we have made more Friends over the years through our rentals.

The setting provides a real sample of the Spanish countryside & takes you away from the crowded Beaches & Urbanizations. It is a joy to wake up at "F/S" & the experience is one that begs to be renewed.

To find such a quirky, characterful property, that also provides every comfort is not an easy objective. Here at "Finca Solana" you have the benefit of being able to enjoy a stylish & original Holiday property, with the added factor of so many interesting things to see & do all around you.
